NINETY MINUTE DINNER ROLLS 
2 to 2 1/2 c. flour
2 tbsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 pkg. active dry yeast
1/2 c. milk
1/4 c. water
2 tbsp. butter

Mix 3/4 cup flour, sugar, salt and undissolved yeast. Heat milk, water and butter until liquids are very warm (120°F to 130°F). Butter need not melt. Gradually add to dry ingredients and beat 2 minutes at medium speed of mixer. Add 1/4 cup flour. Beat at high speed 2 minutes. Stir in enough additional flour to make a soft dough. On floured board, knead 2 to 3 minutes until smooth.

Divide dough into 12 equal pieces. Shape into balls. Arrange in a greased 8-inch round pan. On bottom rack of cold oven, pour boiling water into a large baking pan to a depth of 1-inch. Place rolls on wire rack over pan of water; cover. Close oven door and let rise 30 minutes. Uncover rolls and remove pan of water and rack. Turn over to 375°F.

Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until done. Remove from pan and cool slightly on rack before serving.

Makes 12 dinner rolls.
